I met with my conversation partner Mario tonight. He is 17 years old and is from Colombia. We went to Momo's for pizza. He was intrigued when I told him I am learning Spanish, and he immediately wanted to speak to me in his native language. He wants to help me practice my Spanish. We mostly spoke in English, although sometimes if he did not understand me I would express the same idea in Spanish. I think he felt more comfortable once he realized I was okay with his level of English. He is very friendly and curious about American culture, and he would like to stay in Tallahassee after finishing up at CIES. He also likes to play basketball at the Leach and thinks it is more fun to play with Americans because they are better! I invited Mario to join me at the Rez on Saturday for a music festival they are hosting. It should be fun!
